Hi All,
I've been trying to do a transformation with homologous recombination at a
specific location in the genome. I'm inserting CaURA3. I get colonies on
-ura media and get a PCR result the right size with one primer in the insert
and the other next to the insertion site. The problem is that from the same
colony, I get PCR product for the negative control with the primer next to the
insertion site and a primer for the region that should be replaced. I working
with a haploid strain (I've double checked by mating the transformants to
tester strains), and I've repeated the PCRs with at least 4 different primers
in each location. So the seeming result is 2 things in the exact same place in
the genome of a haploid. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Ann
